Most of us are constantly thinking about ways we can improve our home. But, many fall into the trap of spending money on things that…don’t add all that much. They’re usually expensive and we end up getting very little use out of them at all. Take a hot tub as an example: It might seem like a great idea at first, but when you think about the maintenance costs and how often it needs cleaning…
Let’s just say it’s going to become a nuisance more than it is a luxury. That’s why we’ve pooled together this list of home improvements that will really improve your life.
A Sauna
A sauna is a lot better for you than a hot tub. It’s not good for your body to relax in close to boiling water. But do you know what is? Standing in a room filled with steam. It cleanses your body and refreshes your skin. You’ll come out looking and feeling better than ever. So, what’s the downside? Well, we can’t see one. Unlike a hot tub, a sauna doesn’t require a lot of maintenance. In fact, you can easily get one installed in your current shower. Once you have that you’ll be able to waste the hours away having a good steam. Although we think the best part is the price. It will cost you about two hundred. That’s a lot cheaper than a hot tub. For that, you’re looking at closer to a thousand.
A Lock Box
Have you ever been locked out of your house? Wouldn’t it be great if you knew you had a spare key you could always use? Well, now you do with a state of the art lock box. It fits on the outside of the wall and opens with a secure combination. You can store the spare key in here and always have a way into your home. Everyone gets locked out of their at some point. But if you have a lockbox you won’t have to wait around for the locksmith. You’ll be back in your home within minutes. It’s got other benefits too. You can use it to make sure your kids can get into the home when you’re out, even if they don’t have the key. It’s a lot safer than carrying a key around school all day.
A Car Port
Don’t you hate it when bad weather had taken its toll on your car? The doors are frozen shut; the windows are iced over. The battery might even be dead due to getting damp in heavy rain. It’s a nightmare but now it’s an avoidable one. With a carport, you can keep your vehicle under cover through the night. It will have protection from the snow, the wind, rain and anything else the skies can throw at it. You won’t have to wake up early to get it ready for going to work in winter. It will be waiting for you in perfect condition.
You see, you don’t need to spend a fortune improving your home. These little fixes are better than any bathroom or extension work you might have had in mind.
